General class rules and operating privileges
Type
A
The person must be a resident of the US for a minimum of 5 years

C
The person’s home citizenship must be in ITU region 2
D
None of these choices is correct; a non-US citizen cannot be a Volunteer Examiner
Answer Notes
To become an accredited Volunteer Examiner (VE) in the US, citizenship is not a requirement. However, the applicant must hold a valid FCC-granted amateur radio license of General class or higher. This ensures the VE has demonstrated sufficient knowledge of US amateur radio regulations and technical concepts.
Distractors claiming that US residency, ITU region citizenship, or outright bans on non-US citizens apply are false. The FCC focuses entirely on the licensing credentials and age qualifications of the individual, not their nationality.
